KYLO’S POVThe moment the truth came out, everything shifted. As Grandpa Cassian spoke, detailing how he had seen Varya that day at the hotel, the weight of my actions started pressing down on me. I almost choked as it hit home—Varya wasn’t flirting with anyone else.She wasn’t cheating on me either. All these while I was punishing her for something that she did not do.The truth hit me like an uppercut to the ribs; I was left shaken and breathless. My thinking kept going over every mean thing I had said to her, every harsh stare and casual move away.I thought she had betrayed me and brought shame to our family name so much so that I couldn’t possibly think otherwise. And yet, here she was, standing innocent in the wake of my accusations.As Grandpa continued to speak, recounting his encounter with Varya, I couldn’t bring myself to look at her. Shame gnawed at me, biting deeper with each passing second.How could I have been so blind? So quick to judge without even giving her a chanc

VARYA’S POV The mansion feels so empty without Kylo. Each time I move, my feet make sounds that roll across the shiny floor; that is the only sound that reminds me of the loneliness that has set in my heart. One day I convinced myself that it was normal, that it was what was promised when we got married; it could never be about love and companionship but a part of me wants the man that made me feel safe in this cruel world. But he is not here; he has left for a business trip; I am here all alone with Dora and Cassandra. Whereas earlier they used to humiliate with their winks and sneers, now they are openly abusive. One hardly has to remind ourselves of it anymore. I can see it in the way they look at me; the hatred in their eyes, the way they speak to each other when they assume that I am out of earshot. The staff has also followed this trend and taken their positions. The respect that they used to keep in their behavior has transformed into rudeness. It’s in the way they bar
Sacrificed My Kidney for a Cheat CHAPTER 97
Every dawn, I wrestle out of bed, gripping the worn-out edges of a routine that’s barely keeping me intact. I stand up, get dressed, and make an attempt at readying myself for whatever lies ahead but it seems more challenging every day.The longer shockingly Kylo is away, the more I feel like am coming apart.I channel my attention towards work which is the only thing left in me under control. My designs have always served as an asylum to escape the stifling reality surrounding my life here. But even that doesn’t seem easy anymore. As I sit at my desk with my pencil poised above the paper, it wouldn’t allow any line to be drawn by hand.The blank page seems to taunt me as if reminding me about how hollow I am inside.It doesn’t help that Dora and Cassandra have made it their mission to destroy whatever little peace I have left. They’re always watching, waiting for me to slip up.It started with small things—misplacing my sketches, moving my tools so I’d waste time looking for them—but

They go in a circle, days following days; either in utter silence or choking to death. Every morning, I get up, in the same bed, in the same damp, chilly, uncomfortable room wanting the day something will be different.But it never does. Kylo is still absent, and I am still alive, to suffer in this house which is gradually transforming into a mausoleum with every passing day.This loneliness lingers like an old friend that follows one around, but an unwelcome friend all the same. I attempted to keep the days occupied, keep the mind busy with something that could occupy and possibly distract from the growing anxiety and void within me, and it only grows harder to conceal.I found that even elements that I used to consider as my safe havens like the designs I create are now becoming a nuisance to me. There I am, at my desk, ready to work, holding a pencil, but ideas no longer flow as once did. My head is too muddled, too heavy with what has occurred.With this, I end up being on my own
Sacrificed My Kidney for a Cheat CHAPTER 99
KYLO’S POVOn this return trip, my expectations were that everything would remain constant. It may have been immature on my part but after all that had transpired, I held out hope that Varya and I could begin again as if nothing had taken place.In our relationship, there was an undeniable difference, a subtle one perhaps, but still noticeable in the way she looked at me before our words became more loving and less impersonal before I left.It was as if we were finally moving away from the bitterness that had characterized our union from its inception. A new dimension was gradually emerging in her personality towards me; warm-hearted, sensitive, and perhaps even tenderly affectionate.But now, standing in the doorway of our home, I felt a coldness that was unrelated to the air conditioning. Varya was waiting for me just like any wife would, but something was off with her. She was not like the person I had left behind at all.The tentative warmth that had begun to melt our hearts had d

KYLO’S POVAs I attempted to do coal with the figures displayed before me on the large monitor on the front end of the long polished conference table that dominated the center of the room I sat at the head of.My CFO was going on and on about the latest figures which I should have been listening to, about gross income, net income, and new ways of expanding the business.Although I tried my best I failed to focus on the lecture as my thoughts frequently shifted to the woman who was sitting next to me, on my right.Varya was sitting at the table and, as always, carefully wrote something in her notebook with a pen. On the face of it, she had been calm, collected; all the polished professional that she had emerged to be in this business. But I knew better.I could tell from her body language, that she was as anxious as I was, she could not even glance at me from the corner of her eye as if one fearful glance might betray something she dared not let out.It wasn’t just her that was differe
Sacrificed My Kidney for a Cheat CHAPTER 101
KYLO’S POVI should have anticipated it. For days, weeks even, there was rising pressure – it had to snap sometime. And then when it finally did happen, caught off guard I was…in what way; dumbfounded by my own sudden vulnerability.In the beginning like any other day…last thing ‘on my mind’ is Varya. Arriving early at work; in an effort to make myself lose all remaining thoughts about Varya in piles of work.The conference room cleared out, team engaged in preparation for the next big project. There came some tapping on the door which drew my attention from studying reports.“Come in,” I called out without lifting my eyes from the documents.And then she came through the door heels clacking on the marble floor bringing with her familiar click. Confidently I lifted up my head expecting to find one of the assistants there but rather saw Dora much too pleased with herself“Kylo dear,” she purred entering the office like she had a right to do so, “I thought I would drop by and check how
Sacrificed My Kidney for a Cheat CHAPTER 102
KYLO’S POVThe decision wasn’t sudden. For weeks it gnawed away at me as though some slow fire boiled on deep inside my head forever insisting upon itself. Only when Varya grudgingly suggested we give a shot together in putting things right between us did something go click in me?My wife wasn’t just someone whom I married; she was an individual who deserved dignity, calmness, and security at home like everybody else. Action had to be taken because righting what went wrong was my business.The dwelling turned into a battleground yet I could not afford to keep it that way any longer. To really give our union a real shot at success that is.Dora and Cassandra had crossed boundaries too many times before, but I should have acted sooner than this. I was complicit in their behavior through my silence.
